Each Take-and-Make bag includes one mini pie pan and a bag of approximately 50 beads. You will need access to a grill, oven or toaster oven in which to melt the plastic beads and an oven mitt or spatula.

Just follow the detailed instructions to design your suncatcher and you will have a brighter window.

Visit the library and grab a free bag. These will be available through the month of May.

The third of our six-program series is Raised Bed Gardening with Kymisha Montgomery at 6 p.m., Thursday, May 23.

Montgomery is the Urban Agriculture Coordinator at the Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati. The series also features upcoming programs on food preservation, beekeeping, and composting.

All programs are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Adult Services Coordinator Amanda Johnson at 937.783.3585.

If you want to show off your Lego-building skills or if you just want to have fun building with your friends, the library is the place you want to be from 6-7 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month.

The Brick Builders meet next May 30 in the meeting room.

Youth ages 5 and up are invited, but we do ask parents to accompany children 7 and under. Legos will be provided, although donations are welcome to help our collection grow. Donations may be dropped off any time at the front desk.

For more information, contact Youth Services Coordinator Amber Chaney at 937.783.3585.

June title:
Hornet Flight
by Ken Follett

In June 1944, with the war not going well for the British, the lives of three people on both sides of the English Channel — MI6 intelligence analyst Hermia Mount, Danish police detective and collaborator Peter Flemming, and young Harald Olufsen — intertwine as Harald makes a discovery that could change the course of the war, if he can get the information to England.

Morning storytimes are separated into age groups, but we also have our popular Family Storytime from 5-6 p.m. each Monday. No registration is required. Children (and adults) of all ages are welcome to just show up and enjoy a story, songs, crafts and a light snack.

For more information, please visit the library or call 937.783.3585.
